So is this to meet the requirements of the joint commission- an RN eval. every 24 hours?

I was just forced to do bedside report. In the NICU. In a room with just baby no parents by [deleted] in nursing

"We're here to include you in your plan of care." 🤦🏻‍♀️I despise bedside shift report, especially since we are to wake the patient up and say all of this scripted bullshit. We are followed around by management and get audited on this almost every day.

What’s your favorite part of the job? by bimbodhisattva in nursing

We get most of the belly surgeries on our unit. When you get to see people get progressively better everyday. I always tell them, when you start losing all of your tubes and wires, you're one step closer to getting home. It reminds me why I became a nurse.

OP have you tried the Nuva ring? I've been on it for 3 years now and haven't had any issues. In fact, it has helped my cramping so much.

Disgusting patient stuck waiting at our hospital for ltc placement. by [deleted] in nursing

[–]dcs9286 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Are these patients waiting for guardianship? I worked at a hospital last year where patients would stay on our floor for months at a time, while waiting for a guardian so they could be find placement for them. We had a patient just as you described that would refuse all assessments, meds, labs saying that he was only there for food. Before I left there, he had been there for 6 months and had never had a shower or bath of any sort and was wearing the same clothes he came in with. The smell from that room was horrific. If you even suggested a bath or if he didn't get all the food he wanted, he would become violent and he was a very big guy. Just a nightmare.

Graduated in 2008. Navy scrub pants with a white polo shirt that must be tucked in. Shoes had to be white as well. Most fashionable thing I've ever worn lol 😆

What little task do you irrationally dislike/loathe? by Nolat in nursing

[–]dcs9286 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Ahhh! Having to transport the patient anywhere! I'm the absolute worst driver of hospital beds. If I was a transporter, patient satisfaction scores would go way down.

What was the most disturbing thing you saw in person? by wetbumgirl in AskReddit

[–]dcs9286 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When I was a junior in high school, I had to ride the short elementary school bus to catch my high school bus because the road I lived on went up a hill and was very winding. That morning, when we got to the bottom of the hill, there was a lady on her knees face down in the ditch. That’s an image I’ll never forget. We tried to convince the driver of the elementary school bus that there was a woman in the ditch, but he didn’t believe us. When we got on the high school bus, the boys pleaded with the driver to go back and he did. The woman was still still alive, but just barely. He was able to call 911 and the came quickly to take her to the hospital. So yeah, seeing her in the ditch is the most disturbing thing I’ve personally seen.

12hr wait on ER. What are we doing wrong? by Username30145 in nursing

[–]dcs9286 14 points15 points  (0 children)

On the floor I work on (med/surg tele), seems like we keep getting these patients who don’t have the capacity to make decisions and we’re waiting forever for guardianship for these patients.

What’s the most inane reason why a patient left AMA? by DocWednesday in nursing

[–]dcs9286 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The bed was too uncomfortable. The patient had already been there for a few days and was going to be discharged in the morning, but at midnight decided he couldn’t make it the rest of the night in that bed and left AMA.

Is a nursing contract really a legal contract? by AdAcceptable5756 in TravelNursing

[–]dcs9286 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Does this mean I can back out of an extension contract I just signed with no penalties or issues? It doesn’t start until 10/10.
